West Ham boss Slaven Bilic says the club are “done” in the January transfer window in terms of signings and said it was he who pulled the plug on a move for Scott Hogan.

That means the Hammers have signed just the two players in the winter window – Jose Fonte from Southampton and Robert Snodgrass from Hull City – and the boss described himself as “happy” with his business.

The main talking point was the departure of Dimitri Payet to Marseille for £25m as well but having spent £16m of that on the two new recurits, the boss insists he is finished in the window.

Speaking at his pre-Manchester City press conference at Rush Green on Tuesday morning, the Croat said: “Yes, we are done now.

“The reason I didn’t bring him [Hogan] in is while he is a good player, we watched him many times, but I just felt that we have really good strikers in our squad, that's the reason why I didn't want this to happen.

“We really wanted Snodgrass from day one and I am very pleased we got him. We were looking for a right back but we could not get someone we thought would improve our first eleven, that's why we didn't get one

“Overall, I am very happy.”

Bilic also confirmed he tried to sign former Hammers striker Demba Ba on loan but as the frontman is still recovering from a broken leg, he wouldn’t be fit until March and it was “far too late” for Bilic.
